KILRAIN THE BEST MAN

Although Darkness Prevented Him
 From Winning the Flight With Jem
 Smith.
 LONDON, Deo 19.-The international con- test between Jake Kilrain of Baltimore and Jem Smith of England for the diamond belt and the championship of the world took place on the island of St. Pierre in the river Seine, France, to-day in the presence of about one hundred persons. There was no police inter ference G. w. Atkinson, the referee, per- formed his duties with satisfaction to all con- cerned. Jem Smith was seconded by Jack BaIdock and Jack Harper and was attended by Jem Howes and Dick Roberts. Jake Kill rain was seconded by Charley Mitchell and Ned Donnelly and was attended by Charley Powell. Messrs. Fleming and Harding acted as timekeepers and umpires. The fight was remarkable for the persistent wrestling of the men. In the fourth round Smith was knocked nearly silly by terrific smack the ear Though Smith had the worst of the falls he fought splendidly under great difficulties and was as fresh as Kilrain when darkness stop- ped the fight at 455. One hundred and six rounds were fought, lasting two and half hours.
 The referee ordered that the fight be re- sumed tomorrow, but later Smith and Kill rain expressed mutual respect for each other, swore eternal friendship, agreed to consider the fight draw and pledged each other to fight Sullivan. The general opinion is that the fight was the greatest heavy weight con- test of the present generation. Kilrain's height, reach and skill gave him a greyt advantage over his more stoeky opponent, who could neither hit with the severity anticipated nor wrestle Jake to any advantage. Smiths ears were cut and swol len. The right side of his face was terribly bruised Kilrain had lump or two on his forehead and his left eye was nearly closed. Otherwise he was in good shape. The rounds were all short and savage, the longest being the fitieth, which lasted two minutes and fourteen seconds.

The New Havens Heat she Mer1dens in
 the Best Game of the Season-Water-
 bury Wins From Bridgeport.
 The New Ravens defeated the Meridens at Lincoln rink last night. There isn't any doubt about it, is there Meriden?
 The New Ravens did what no other team
 has yet done this season, that of shutting their opponents out without goal. No goals were taken off by fouls. Score: New Ravens 6, Meridens 0.
 The game was the prettiest, the best and the most scientific that has been plaged at Lincoln rink this season, even if it wasn't exciting. The home team outplayed the visitors at every point. Their passes and 1 hits for goal were such as have never been ! seen here before.
 Everyone of the New Haven team covered
 himself with glory. Oonnors and Neweombe l worked like beavers and did superb work. Cunning never played better game. His playing at timee was marvellous. He juggled l the ball to perfection. Captain Hallett play ed half back magnifcently, while Watson did all that he could do, not letting ball go by him.
 It can be seen with what force the New Ravens played by the stops of Lampkins and ! Watson, the former making 26 and the lat ! ter 6. Doc made the second goal for New Haven by inadvertently kicking the ball into their cage. During the game one of the | electric globes in the center of the rink was smashed by Hallett's drive.
 Connors and Connors rushed and he ot l that name of the New Ravens took every rush. "Bente" Hannaford tried to get Con nors into fight and finally the referee had | to warn him. It would seem strange indeed | to see him play fair and respectable game. l He never should be allowed on the floor.

THE EAGER BENEFIT.
The Concert an Enthusiastic Success A Highly Popular and Pleasing

The Concert an Enthusiastic Success
 A Highly Popular and Pleasing
 Event.
 The Eager benefit concert at the Atheneum laft evening was attended by large and en- thusiastic audience who attested their appre- citation of every number by rapt and generous applause. It was without doubt the finest chamber concert given in this city for years and showed that we have among us musicians who are capable of an able interpretation of the highest order of classic music.
 Messrs. Milcke and Weiss in their playing of Bach's double concerto showed thor ough conception of the ideas of the great master, and the movements of the compost tion were played with expression and feeling. MT. Franz Milckes execution and fine lowing in the Romanza by Ries won the plaudits of the audience and the enthusiastic applause which greeted him was well deserved. Miss Lizzie Gaffney sang Moir's "Best of All" and in response to the encore which her singing always meets with gave the charming little song IA Lady's No Means Yes." MT. Erics- son Bushnell used his voice to splendid ad- vantage in the rendition of his number and sang "The Vikings" in answer to a recall. The flute solo, Demersseman's sixth solo, by
 
 dered and the capabilities of the instrument were fully brought out. MT. Ewald Weiss a young violinist, and new to New Haven au- diences, made a deep impression on the au- dience by his magnificent playing of Vieux temps 'sReverie" His brilliant execution, graceful lowing, fine expression and cor rect tone made his performance one of high artistic merit. As an encore he played the slow movement from Bruch's concerto. The duet by Miss Gaffney and MT. Bushnell was well rendered and vigorously applauded. ''The Voyage" by Mendelssohn, was given as encore to this number. MT. and Mrs E. A. Parsons added to their laurels by their work, and an enthusiastic recall showed the recognition of their work and ability. The trio by Messrs. Milcke, Weiss and Foster was finely rendered and evoked much applause. The last number on the programme was filled by Mr. Eager, who played Tausig's "Soiree de Vienne" in a manner that showed careful study of the composition.
 Mir. Eager sails Wednesday on the steamer ''Eider" for Germany, where he will spend two years in the study of music at the Leip- sic conservatory. He carries with him the good wishes of host of friends and aequaint- ances who have been associated with him

An Engineer Declared Guilty.

BosoN, Dec. 19.-The railroad commits sioners have rendered decision in the mat ter of the collision at Fitchburg on Novem- Der 30 between 8 Fitchburg freight train and an extra Raymond exeur- sion train by which the fireman of the passenger train and drover who was in the saloon car was killed The commission CTS find that the engineer of the extra was plainly guilty, as in spite of the circumstances which required the use of great care he was not proceed ing with due caution. The conductor of the extra they declare to be free from blame. Owing to relocation of the yards at. Fitchburg the rules of the road relating to running trains are ambiguous, but this does not release the en- gineer from responsibility. The board recommends that the rules and the form of orders should be revised and amend- ed and that the Fitchburg and East Fitch burg yards should be protected by suitable signs, and it requests a report within one month stating what notifications of the rules or of the form of orders and what additional system of signs have been adopted.

 TROY, Dec. 19.-S. s. Crandell, formerly
 lawyer and real estate broker in Troy, to-
 day shot his wife, his mother-iu-law, Mrs. s.
 Stone, his step-daughter, Julia Bulky, and
 himself, at their home in Ballston Spa. All

 divorced wife of Crandells former legal as-
 sociate. Crandell was extravagant in his
 habits. His wife had money and the quar-
 rel was over it's control
 The trouble eliminated yesterday when
 CrandelI and Mrs. Stone had dispute as to
 the occupation of workingman employed on the place. The ladies ran from the table
 to the kitchen and he ran after them, firing across the room. Crandelrs spite seemed to be against Mrs. Stone. He fired promlscu- ously among others at Mrs. Ellis. Mrs. Stone ran out of doors into the snow, some rods from the house. Crandell went to the door and shot after her. She fell exhausted in the snow and died soon after, bullet in her breast showing the ball to have been fired in the house. Crandell then turned | about, loaded his revolver, and at short range fired at Julia. The shot took effect in the abdomen. It was fired so close that the white apron she wore was burned by the pow der. Mrs. Crandell received two wounds in the groin from which she afterward died. Crandell then ran from the room and was not | seen again until his dead body was found in the cupola of the house.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.
 SENATE-A memorial was presented from the constitutional convention of the territory of Utah asking admission into the Union as 8 State, with copies of the constitution. Re ferred to the committee on territories.
 number of bills were introduced, among them the following: By MT. Frye, Maine For the collection of more accurate statistics of exports, emigration and immigration. By MT. Platt, ,Connecticut-To prohibit the man- ufacture and sale of spirituous and intoxicat- ing liquors in the District of Columbia.
 Mir. Blair gave notice that he would to-mor- row ask the Senate to proceed to the consid~ eration of the educational bill. The Senate then, on the motion of Mir. Cockrell, at 4 D.. m. proceeded to executive business and when the doors were opened at 4:15 p. m. ad- journed.
 HoUsE-Mr. Dibble of South Carolina of- fered resolution referring to the committee on appropriations the reports of the court of claims on the French spoliation claims, with instructions to that committee to report all claims which have been decided favorably to the claimants in the general deficiency bill
 MT. B1ount of Georgia objected to instruct ing committee to report back claims which would involve millions of dollars before the resolution containing such instructions had been considered by committee.
 Mir. Randall of Pennsylvania coincided in this view and suggested that the resolution be referred to the committee on claims
 MT. Dibble said that the amount involved in the spoliation claims was variously esti- mated at from $9, ,000, ,000 to $30, ,00O, 900. Ac- cording to the best estimate he could make the amount involved was about 10000, 900. The amount involved in his resolution was only $448, 900. But if the government owed the claimants the money, as has been con- ceded by the court of claims, the question of amount was of secondary importance
 hod afr r1ybi oh the resolution was adopted, yeas 163, nays 84.
 Several amendments to the rules were of fered, among others one by MT. Brewer of Michigan, requiring the Speaker to appoint the committees within two weeks of the meeting of Congress.
